Loss by transfer 8,950 

Loss by suspension 42, 428 

Loss by dishonorable discharge 415 

Loss by delinquent reports 30, 326 

Total loss 87,588 



Members in good standing March 31, 1887 320,946 



Total number remaining suspended 23, 496 

Total number by delinquent reports 10,129 

Number of Posts reported March 31, 1886 '. 5,765 

Number of Points reported March 31. 1887 6,312 

Net gain in membei-ship during the year (in good standing) 25, 609 

Net gain of Posts during the year 540 

'IMie loss by delinquent reports is the aggregate membership 
of each Post not reported through negligence of Post Officers. 
Some of the best members of the order are among this number, 
through no fault of theirs ; but because Post Officers have failed 
in their duty in the matter of returns. These are not lost to 
the Order, and should l)e counted as borne upon the rolls. 

CHARITY. 

The total amount reported expended in Charitj', March 31, 
188(5, to March 31, 1887, inclusive, is $253,934.43. Number of 
per.sons relieved, 20,000; 17, (JOT of these were members of the 
order, or the lamilies of such. 8,!li)9 were either ex-soldiers, 
not nionibers, or those dej)C'ndent on thcni. 

Prom what is well known by almost all comrades this amount 
represents not more than one halt the sum actually dislmrscd 
in ciiarit}', the other hall" lu'iii^ bestowed iulorinally and not re- 
ported b}' posts. 

1'he' estimate is a fair one, thai the(!ran(l Army of tlii' He- 
public has contributed /i<i// a million dollars in the year under 
consideration, and used it where it was in everv case needed. 



The following table shows the contributions of each Depart- 
ment to this amount :

DEATH RATE. 

Quarter ending June 30, 1886 771 

Sept. 31, 1886 747 

Dec, 1886 881 

March, 1887 1007 

Total 3406 



It will be ol)servod tliat ;i fair regiment dies each quarter, and 
a strong lirigade a year. 

It is quite noticeable that the death rate per 1000 is consider- 
ably greater East than West. The reason is found in the fact 
that the j'ounger men enlisted in this section, and when the war 
was over, the j-ounger of the Eastern soldiers came West. 

ORDERS AND CIRCULARS. 

Fifteen General and 118 Special Orders, 8 Circulars, 1 Special 
Circular, 2 National Rosters, and 2000 Rolls of this Encampment 
have been issued; aggregating a distribution of over MOO. 000 
pieces of such matter. 

The mailing list has nearly- doubled during the 3'ear. and 
some of these issues have been mailed direct from the office to 
over two thousand individuals. 

The Commissions issued, to the number of several hundred, 
have been engrossed in the office, except in one instance, under 
a press of affairs, when ^7.00 was expended for that purpose. 

CORRESPONDENCE. 

I need not sa}- the correspondence of the Adjutant General's 
office is large — it has become immense. 

It had increased to such proportions that it was plain to the 
Executive Committee of the National Council of Administration 
last November that it could not properly be done by one man. 

That committee therefore placed $500 at the the disposal of 
the Commander-in-chief, with which to buy a t^'pe-writer and 
emplo}' a person to use it. With this help, and one clerk hired 
at mj' own expense, T have been able to keep fairl}' up with the 
Inisiness of the oflicc. Of the foOO allowed for this purpose, 
$338.00 have Ix'cn u.scd. items for each expenditure will appear 
in the rcpoii of the (^)narti'rniaster-(iencral. 

Ii('ttcr-i)r('ss coi)ii's of over MlOO letters have been preserved. 
As many letters have been filed for preservation. ^NFost of this 
matter will he wurtidcss after a few yi-ans. It should, from time 
to time be carefully assorted, and that of a routine character 
deslroyed. \ great number of letters have I)een received that 
could not l)e i)i-eser\cd; liut it is believed, all have received 
courteous replies: many, liowever. not worth a letter-press copy. 



BOOKS, PAPERS AND RECORDS. 

At the meeting of the Executive Committee, Council of Ad- 
ministration, November 5th, 1886, the Adjutant-Gleneral was 
authorized to use $150, or so much thereof as necessary, towards 
a proper preservation of the books, records, etc., in the office. 

Ten volumes of the proceedings of Department and National 
P]ncampments have been bound. Proceedings for 1887 of all 
all but seven of the smallest Departments have been secured 
and bound. Twenty files for as many G. A. R. periodicals have 
been procured and the papers filed. A substantial book for the 
perrAanent preservation of Department Rosters has been sup- 
plied. One case of Woodruff's files, metalic, has been put in 
place which will hold all the returns for twelve years, and a set 
of shelves for the books and bound orders added, this at a cost 
of $G7.22. For items, see report of Quartermaster-General. 

The Records and Papers of the office are increasing each year 
in volume and importance. 

The book for the preservation of the Consolidated Returns 
of Departments prepared by my predecessor, contains a clear 
transcript of returns for the past two years, and if properly 
kept will make a history of the Order which your children will 
not be ashamed to have turned over, when the G. A. R. is ex- 
tinct, to the archives of the General Government, for consulta- 
tion by future generations. 

Since General Orders No. 5 was issued, most inquiries for ad- 
dresses in claims for pensions have been sent direct to the Army 
and Navy Survivors' Division of the Pension Office. 

The following letter will show the effectiveness of this method 
of communication between comrades: 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, 

Army and Navy Survivors' Division, 

Washington, D. C, August 29, 1887. 
Col. E. B. Gray, 

Adjutant-tjeneral O. A. R., Madison, Wis.: 
Sir: In acknowledging receipt of your favor of the 17th inst., I here- 
with forward to vou a copy of the Annual Report of the Chief of the Army 
and Navy Survivors' Division as made to the Commissioner of Pensions 
July 1st, 1887. From the tabulated statement forming a part thereof you 
will readily see the amount of work accomplished during the past fiscal 
year and although there is no separate count made therein of answers to 
calls' from members of the Grand Army of the Republic, the records of the 



8 

Division show that a little more than one-fourth of the whole number of 
names furnished — 158,227 — have been supplied to the comrades of the 
G. A. R. These calls have increased in number fully one-half during the 
past six months, or since the issuance of General Orders No. 5. 

There is still a large number of Posts of the G. A. R. from which returns 
have not been received, and it is again suggested that Post officers be re- 
quested to furnish this Bureau with copies of their rosters, also statements 
of any and all changes that may occur therein, such as death, transfer, 
change of residence, etc. Service cards will at all times be promptly for- 
warded upon application made for same to the Commissioner of Pensions. 

In the course of the general business of the division, it often becomes 
necessary to correspond with members of the G. A. R. for information rela- 
tive to post office addresses of comrades whose evidence may be especially 
called for. .\11 such inquiries invariably receive prompt replies, and the 
Army and Navy Survivors' Division is under especial obligation to all 
officers and members of the G. A. R., and 1 take this opportunity to extend 
sincere thanks for courtesy so frequently extended. 
Very respectfully, 

Fbank A. Butts, Chief of Division. 

By direction of Hon. John C. Black, Commissioner. 

It will thus be seen that about 40,000 names have been tar- 
nished comrades of the Order by this division, to assist in ob- 
taining evidence to be used in prosecuting claims for pensions. 
This method is direct, business-like and eifective. 

I desire to thank the Commissioner of Pensions and his able 
corps of assistants lor uniform courtesy and prompt response to 
every inquirj'. 

DICTIONARIES. 

Through the courtesy of the publishers, National Head- 
quarters has been supplied with copies of Worcester's and 
Webster's Unabridged Dictionnrios, for which your thanks were 
duly returned. 

TLMK OK nOLDINti ENCA:MP.MENTS. 

'J'iic tiiiic for holding Department Encampments tliis year 
covered the months of January, February. ]March and April, one- 
third of the year, during wliich time, and for a month there- 
after, wliile waiting I'cpoils. this ollici' was necessarily without 
a comph'te Naticnial Ivosti'r. and not in ollicial communication 
with :ill llic hcpartments. Were these meetings all held in 
.):inii:irv mikI lu'liiiiary, the Imsincss of tlic Oi'dcr would be 
greatl}' tncilitntcd. 



CREDENTIALS. 

May I add another word in line of bringing the business 
methods of this now multitudinous army into more compact 
form ? 

The rule is recognized throughout the civilized world and, 
by fair implication, in Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 2, of our 
Rules and Regulations, that the presiding officer of every con- 
vention certifies those elected by the body over which he pre- 
sides. As we, for the most part, practice, this certificate is 
signed by the man who did not preside at the election of Rep- 
resentatives to the National Encampment, and more, in signing 
these credentials, the successor to the officer presiding certifies 
to his own election! 

For the purpose of binding and preservation, permit me to 
urge that all Department and National Orders, Circulars and 
Proceedings of Encampments he printed of uniform size The 
page I am reading from is the proper form. 

THE CHARLESTON RELIEF FUND. 

September 20, 1886, Circular No. 1 was issued, calling on 
comrades to aid the earthquake shattered city of Charleston, S. 
C. October 15, Circular No. 2, announced that the mayor had 
that day wired: " We think we have enough for the meritorious 
need}' sufferers."' 

Before night of the same day Circular No. 2 was on its way 
to every department stopping collections. 

Such, however, had been the prompt and glad response to the 
call, that, though many Posts meet only monthly, money was 
sent by the various Departments to this worthy object, as shown 
by the following table :

IN GENERAL. 

The second quarter of 1887, March 31 to June 30, has been 
so remarkable in accessions to " the number in good standing " 
in the Order, that I insert, following this report, a table showing 
gains and losses by Departments, covering that time. 

HISTORY OF THE ORDER. 

My comrades, the time has come when some responsible 
member of our order should be induced to undertake the prepa- 
ration of its history-, under the sanction of this Encampment, 
and I trust, before your deliberations close, this may be accom- 
plished. 

The work of this office has been arduous ; but it has been 
rendered pleasant, by the kindness and fraternal conduct ot all 
the comrades with whom I have had business relations. 

Not a request for information has been made during the j-ear 
to the Commander of a Department, or an Assistant Adjutant- 
General, which has failed to receive a prompt and cordial re- 
sponse. I desire to assure these comrades that every courtesy 
has been appreciated. 

It is just to say in this connection that the warmest thanks 
are due, and are hereby given to Comrades Beath, Cameron, 
Taintor and Tajdor, who have invariably bestowed timely advice 
and substantial assistance whenever asked. , 

Comrade Fairchild, your personal kindness, 3'our constant 
forbearance, and your expressed appreciation of my endeavors 
in the field to which you assigned me a year ago, will be a source 
of gratification to me while life lasts. I thank you for them all. 

Submitted in F., C. and L., 

E. B. Cray, 

Adjutant- General.
